In a short description of the tablet provided in the the press release, the ARCHOS 80 Cesium is said to have an 8-inch IPS display with 1280 x 800 resolution and will come pre-installed with Windows 8.1right out of the box. Doing the workload for the tablet is an undisclosed quad-core processor made by Intel.

Sadly that’s all there is to it for now as the press release didn’t give out a lot of details about the ARCHOS’ exciting new Win8.1 tablet. What we do know though is that the ARCHOS 80 Cesium will be available in the market starting on October and will have a very competitive price tag of just USD149 when it hit shelves.

The launch of the first Google Nexus 7 back in 2012 has undoubtedly paved the way for cheaper Android tablets in the market. Toshiba is trying to replicate that same game plan, but it’s doing so in the Windows tablet section. Folks meet the Toshiba Encore 7, a Windows 8.1 tablet with a 7-inch display which would probably be retailed for under $150.

Toshiba Encore 7 specs:
7-inch TN display @ 1024×600 pixels, 170ppi
Intel Atom Z3735 1.33GHz quad-core processor
Intel HD Graphics
1GB RAM
Expandable 16GB internal memory
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 4.0
GPS
Micro-HDMI out
Windows 8.1

Currently, details about the new Toshiba Encore 7 are few and far in between. During the announcement, there was no mention of its SRP and the exact date of when it’s going to be available in the market.

So where did we get its USD150 price tag? Simple, we just based in on the fact that it’s bigger brother, the 8-inch Encore 2 is being sold for USD199. So unless something goes totally wrong with the folks at Toshiba, we don’t see why this tablet will be priced any higher than $150.
